Augrented Insights Report for 248 Hewes Street

248 Hewes Street is a 34-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 248 Hewes LLC and located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in early 2022, when multiple non-emergency issues were reported including water leaks, plumbing problems, pest infestations, wall damage, and ventilation system concerns. Most of these complaints were closed without violations being issued, often due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being unable to gain access for inspection.

A heat and hot water emergency was reported in October 2020 but was resolved quickly according to tenant reports. The building has documentation of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including several from 2020 related to lead-based paint hazard control requirements in apartments A4, B5, and B6, which remain open as of the latest records. Between 2020 and 2021, the property faced enforcement actions regarding unauthorized work and various Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, though many of these were ultimately dismissed or resolved.

Notably, there was an Environmental Control Board violation in July 2020 concerning unpermitted electrical work in Apartment B4. The building's bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024 shows no recorded infestations, with all previous cases being successfully eradicated. Recent inspections have primarily focused on administrative requirements, such as annual bedbug reporting, with the most recent violation regarding bedbug report filing date from 2024 being noted in the records. Despite the historical pattern of maintenance issues, recent bedbug reports indicate successful management of pest control, though the building's age and history of plumbing and water-related complaints suggest continued attention to basic infrastructure maintenance.
